Valve has just announced a $250,000 prize pool Counter-Strike: Global Offensive tournament at DreamHack Winter 2014.

Taking place in Jönköping, Sweden from November 27-29, the upcoming Counter-Strike: Global Offensive tournament will feature eight quarter-finalists from ESL One Cologne 2014. They will be joined by eight teams to be decided by regional qualifiers. All the action from the Finals will be streamed live via continuous high-quality coverage provided by DreamHack.

For the first time, the DreamHack CS:GO Championship will feature a special boot camp - all teams are invited to Stockholm to train before the tournament, with support for accommodations provided by DreamHack and Valve.

The upcoming event will be the fourth $250,000 CS:GO Major tournament, pushing the total prize pool to $1 million awarded since last year's DreamHack SteelSeries CS:GO Championship.

In addition, the past season of Major tournaments generated record-breaking viewing audiences, with 3 million unique viewers "tuning in" for the last Major tournament, the ESL One Cologne held in August of this year.

Also in the past year, CS:GO's player numbers for have grown by more than 250%, and content contributors have grossed more than $3.5 million dollars selling their items and maps for the game.
